It just keeps getting better. The Absolute has been our best selling deck for several years. This is due to constant improvement to the shape as well as the most rider friendly high-end design to ever grace your feet. As with all our pro decks, we not only rely on the team to give input, ideas, feedback on performance and shaping of the boards, but we also let the masses give it a go. All the feedback is processed and changes are made to fine tune the Absolute into the most optimum board possible, which is why it remains our best seller.

This board will ride to your ability level. If you charge the wake like Zane, hang on. If you want to learn your first wake to wake, this is your board as well. For 06 we designed long molded base fins creating a strong hold all the way through the wake. A cupped rail allows the board to really bite and build speed into the direction it is pointed. Not just any cupped rail. Zane and our head engineer created vented rails that bite the water at an angle at which the board bites. With the added rocker for this year, these rails keep the speed of this board rockin.

It also has the thinnest tip and tail ever introduced into the wakeboard market. This trims the swing weight down to a minimal amount, as well as adding that tip and tail snap off the wake caused by the extensive top shaping. The Absolute boasts the biggest center spine in our entire line. The spine helps smooth out the landings way out there in the flats.

Another CWB Board Co first taken to the next level is the elevated and dished boot deck. This year it is raised higher and dished deeper than ever. With our new boot line, the heel and toe response is second to none. A board that falls into place wherever you want it, get on an Absolute and see what all the buzz is about.

I got this board used off eBay. I have been riding an O’Brien Player and this board pops about 10 times more. It’s very, very light which is nice, but it’s also very brittle. I layed it on it’s edge in the back of my truck and actually chipped it. I’m not sure if all of them are this way or just mine since it’s used. Over I think it’s an awesome board, huge pop, great tracking, light, easy to break loose, etc...

I’ve ridden a lot of boards and always end up back on an Absolute. This year’s platinum is the best board I’ve ever ridden. It’s light, has big consistent pop, and smooth landings. I think I’ve had three years’ models. Some regular and some Platinum starting with the original Schwenk Absolute. This year’s is even better. The platinum construction is super light and very stiff. After riding both without any fins and with the smaller ones, I prefer it with the large fins because it seems like I can start a hard cut faster. It tracks well and all the edges are sharp so it’s fast. It’s color matched with the new Zeus hinge bindings so it looks pretty sweet when it’s set up, too.
